Infographic: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a threat to the Arctic
When burned by ships, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) emits methane a dangerously potent greenhouse gas. And as a fossil fuel, LNG clearly should not be part of the solution to shipping decarbonisation. This is particularly worrying in the Arctic where growing extraction, processing, and transport result in methane leakage, adding to the warming effect on the fragile Arctic permafrost ecosystem.
Find out what the Clean Arctic Alliance – and others – are asking of Arctic nations, shipping industry and finance sectors if they truly want to reduce emissions of CO2, black carbon, and methane by 2030.
